Assignment #0

There was not one particularly reason, nor was there a singular goal I hope to achieve when I decided to take CVEN 665. The honest and candid reasons I chose to take this class were:
1. It seemed to be one of the more interesting amongst my alternatives.
2. Dr. Zechman seems to be nice enough and I figured she would be a really good teacher (plus she went to UK, which definitely gives her and the class bonus points).
3. I enjoyed CVEN 664 and thought this class might be a good follow up.
4. I’m hoping to learn how to apply system theory to real world problems that I will face upon graduation.

“Critical thinking consists of mental processes of discernment, analysis and evaluation. It includes possible processes of reflecting upon a tangible or intangible item in order to form a solid judgment that reconciles scientific evidence with common sense. Critical thinkers gather information from all senses, verbal and/or written expressions, reflection, observation, experience and reasoning. Critical thinking has its basis in intellectual criteria that go beyond subject-matter divisions.” (Wikipedia)
